However when I changed the date and time back to indiana where I live it tried to update and failed with the same error so I followed the steps above and updated again. The initial upgrade never did complete and I had to manually remove the cached files. After some troubleshooting I found Grub was loading the wrong kernal version and that prevented the system from booting. When I finally got the system up, some of my applications would not work and I had to reinstall them. Also I found that apt-get autoremove and deporphan would return an error and not complete if I used the indiana time zone settings. I had to set the time zone to europe for the above to work. I hope this is not to much information. I hope it will clear up some of these problems. Thanks for your response. Tom Langley Ubuntu Fan
